GOS2 SPOILER

SAME ATTITUDE!!!

Doctor who - S2E4 - The Girl in the Fireplace

These bastards from doctor who are so michael distortion coded

The hair. The fashion sense. The smiles. Literal knife hands. Patiently enacting their confusing plan to murder one person in particular for personal reasons over many years. Emerging from doorways and mirrors that don't lead where they're supposed to. Died of existential dread.

ok guys it's official my work here is done, Neil liked and rebloged something I wrote and now I can leave feeling accomplished.

I mean look at this beauty

haven't done colour pencils in a bit !!

So the way Steven Moffat wrote The Girl In The Fireplace, now that we have access to that script, is odious, particularly in the way he handled Rose in between dialogue. Was surprised to learn he is a writer every bit as childish and pompous as the episode makes him seem.

the girl in the fireplace is a visually beautiful episode and emotionally impactful and a well written romantic tragedy and scifi mystery. it is also entirely ooc for ten based on how he treats rose throughout and i wish it had never been created and i despise it so much and want to watch it burn. hope that helps

Just rewatched The Girl In the Fireplace for the first time in about nine years and Steven Moffat really read the Time Traveller's Wife one time and decided that every single woman companion he was going to write on the show (with the exception of Bill, and since she's a lesbian, she literally couldn't fall for the Doctor) was going to meet the Doctor as a child and then fall in love with him later on, didn't he? Reinette snogged him when she met him as an adult. Amy snogged him the day before she was getting married. River had, well, every single thing about her arc, birth to death. Even Clara, after being introduced as just friends, is revealed to have met the Doctor as a teenager and then is revealed to fancy him in the regeneration episode. Like, it's an absolutely bizarre and a little bit uncomfortable recurring plot point that these women met a man briefly as a child, imprinted on him, and fell in love/had a sexual interest in him/were obsessed with him as an adult, making large portions of their lives from childhood revolve around this man. Like...a bit of a yikes.

Well!

This lovely bed was first seen in the 2006 episode of Doctor Who entitled The Girl in the Fireplace. In 2009 it was spotted as Princess Victoria’s bed in The Young Victoria.
